After a San Francisco appeals court of three judges unanimously ruled to not reinstate Donald Trump's travel ban, his defeated election rival, Hillary Clinton took a jab at the president.
The former secretary of state tweeted '3-0', noting the judges' unanimous call.
Soon,
Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, hit back at Clinton with a
stinging reminder of her defeat in the presidential election.
'PA,
WI, MI,' Conway, an advisor to Trump in the White House, said in a
message of her own. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan are the states
that were supposed to secure Clinton's presidency but went red.
Just minutes after the ruling, Trump also ashed out on Twitter with an all caps message.
'SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!' Trump wrote.
The
panel of three judges from the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended
the ban and allowed previously barred travelers to enter the U.S.
An appeal to the US Supreme Court seems likely and would put the decision in the hands of a divided court that has a vacancy.
Trump's nominee, Neil Gorsuch, could not be confirmed in time to take part in any consideration of the ban.
The president also spoke to reporters in the West Wing and called the judges' ruling a 'political decision'.
He reiterated that he would appeal: 'It’s a very very serious situation so we look forward to seeing them in court,' he said, according to NBC News.
The president also told NBC News that the ruling didn't undercut his new presidency.
'No this is just a decision that came down but we're going to win the case,' Trump said.
Shortly after the decision was
announced, President Donald Trump announced the government would be
repealing the decision in a tweet using all caps
